My point is *not* to paint the KKK in the best light possible. But members of the KKK certainly would. That’s my point.
It’s not like BLM’s tactics haven’t been used before. The same thing happen during the Russian revolution that brought the communists to power. The Reds had a militant wing that used violence directly against the Russian people so the communists could gain power. They were the original Antifa. BLM even espouses communist ideas like the redistribution of wealthy and property and the abolition of the family. Burning down businesses, attacking law enforcement all exactly the same tactics used to created the Soviet Union.
It is not a stretch to call BLM a domestic terror group. Title 18 § 2331 of the US Code defines domestic terrorism as activities that:
“(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;”
BLM is the textbook definition of a domestic terror group. Dare I say much more so than the KKK judging by the events of the current century.
I’m no KKK historian, but as far as I know they haven’t lynched anyone in the last 60 years. And despite that I’ve spent plenty of time in the south I’ve never seen anyone in a Klan robe. Not a Klan rally, not a single burning cross, nothing. But I’ve seen the charred remains of buildings set on fire by BLM. I don’t see governments legalizing lynching, but I do see them defunding the police. I see Biden’s justice department say the biggest threat to the USA is white supremacy while those BLM rioters who burned down countless businesses, police precincts and courthouses still walk free.
